Is this a flycam screenie? It's a lovely angle of that scene, he has such a sweet look in his face from this view.

Oh, that is nice! This guy and his expressive face...he kills me. 

[LolaLei]

I've just noticed how much detail and texture are on his gloves... that's a crazy amount of attention to detail!

[MelissaGT]

So Photobucket has apparently blocked one of my pictures due to terms of use violations but I have no idea why. O_o

 

Imgur is so much better than Photobucket!

[fontofnothing]

So sorry if this has been posted and I just missed it, but there was talk of character descriptions that could be extracted from the files? I only read the Solas one. Very interesting since I just finished my Solas romance. I have to say, thank goodness for Cullen being romanceable otherwise Solas might have been my first romance  I can't wait for this plot to be addressed in an expansion! lol "Wolf Hunt" is clever, whoever coined that phrase : )

 

Is there one for Cullen, too? Well, all the others? If someone could point me to where I could read them it would be much appreciated.

 

Think I found everyone, so here we go:

 

Spoiler

Blackwall

 

Spoiler

Blackwall is a criminal masquerading as a Grey Warden. He believes that pretending to be a Grey Warden will give him the opportunity to do enough good to make up for the terrible things he did in his past.

 

Cassandra

 

Spoiler

A headstrong member of the Seekers of Truth-- a warrior order that exists within the Templars that serves as a "watchdog" force. They command Templars and investigate both reports of abuse as well as unusual magical disturbances that the Templars themselves cannot deal with-- or, at least, they did until the Seekers broke off from the Chantry for the rebellion. Cassandra refused to rebel with the rest of her Order and remained loyal to the Divine, only to end up in the Inquisition after the Divine's death. She believes in reform for the Chantry and is an idealist at heart-- indeed, she's a closet romantic who has a vision of what a fair and just world would look like, even if she denies this to others because she needs to be tough and often uncompromising.

 

Cole

 

Spoiler

Cole appears to be a young man, shy and uncertain, who speaks with odd non sequitors that don't always make a ton of sense. In reality, however, Cole is a spirit who has crossed into this world, and who is trying to find out whether he is a spirit, a demon, or a real person.

 

Cole is first and foremost compassionate. He cares about people and cannot bear to see harm come to them. He tries to help people in the most direct (and often least beneficial, long-term) way possible. Most of the time, Cole hides from everyone -- most people cannot see him, or forget him after they interact with him, thanks to innate magic on Cole's part. He is only remembered by people important to him.

 

He thinks in terms of feelings and emotions, often unconsciously reading the feelings of others (though never in a way concrete enough to let the player really take advantage of it), so a lot of times, he'll be speaking thoughts that aren't his. He also uses synesthesia at times -- thinking of how a feeling tastes, or smells, or sounds. When he focuses enough to say something simple and direct, it is often an effort.

 

In his follower plot, Cole can be urged more toward the Spirit or Human side of things, which results in him either becoming more gentle and free-form in his thoughts, or more human and grounded.

 

Cole has a few distinct flavors that show up in almost all scenes. I've marked lines with these as a useful shorthand to give general voice feeling, although most lines will also have a specific context that should be respected as well:

 

Sensory: On these lines, Cole is either trying to interpret something outside the realm of human understanding or is reading someone's minds. These are going to have a lot of weird sensory crossover. Treat all punctuation here as essentially optional. Cole may be talking in a happy dreamy voice or rattling something off with urgent intensity, depending on the scene, but it's always going to have this disjointed, run-on-sentence feeling to it, and the actor should run with that and use whatever read works best.

 

Empathic: On these lines, Cole is getting into someone else's mind, either lightly (in which case he might say, 'She sees the body on the table') or deeply (in which case he would say, 'I see the body on the table,' talking from the point of view of the person he's reading). These often go along with the sensory lines, but I'll try to mark them specifically for when weird pronoun usage pops up.

 

More Spirit: Lines marked 'Spirit Only' or 'More Spirit' can sound a bit more flowing and loose, as though Cole is looking calmly and distantly at whatever is happening. Individual lines will have specific reads, of course, but in general, Cole as a spirit is much calmer and more relaxed about everything.

 

More Human: Lines marked 'Human Only' or 'More Human' should have Cole sounding as close to 'normal' as he gets. He usually makes more sense, and whether he's offering normal advice or arguing or whatever, he should sound very close to 'normal person saying this', with little of the free-association rambling that marks his other lines.

 

Cullen

 

Spoiler

After serving as a templar for over ten years, Cullen is now Commander of the Inquisition's forces. He believes in the Inquisition's cause and is proving to be a strong leader. Cullen is trying to move on from the events of his past. Since DA2, he has taken a step back from his more extreme views. He still distrusts magic, but is less prejudice towards mages as people. Wishing to break from his old life, Cullen has stopped taking lyrium.

 

Cullen has been working with Leliana (the Inquisition's Spymaster) and Josephine (the Inquisition's Ambassador) for the past few months. During meetings, Cullen acts as a military advisor and tends to prefer the direct approach. 

 

Dorian

 

Spoiler

Dorian is an aristocratic mage from the Tevinter Imperium-- a foreign land where mages rule (even though everywhere else it's the opposite, and mages are oppressed). Mages from his homeland are considered evil, and for good reason. They're corrupt, and use forbidden arts as a matter of course. Dorian wants to change that. He's an idealist, fighting to change his homeland even if he knows it might be hopeless. He's intelligent, witty and talented-- and also confident, to the point of being cocky.

 

Iron Bull

 

Spoiler

Iron Bull is a Qunari, a massive guy with huge horns and a monstrous ogrelike appearance. Most Qunari speak in a flat, reserved tone, but Iron Bull breaks the stereotype. He is boisterous, good-natured, confident, and relaxed. He's a guy who is always happy to indulge his appetites, whether you're talking food, drink, or women. It would be easy for him to come off as a thug, but he's just so damn likeable and charismatic that he pulls it off. Picture a former athlete who retired a couple of years ago and is now doing sideline commentary, happy to joke around and still confident that he could get out there and play if he wanted to.

 

Iron Bull is almost always casual. It's difficult to scare him (unless demons are involved), and the most you're going to get by way of disagreement is a wordless "Oh, you gotta be kidding me" grumble like you'd from somebody who just stepped in dog poop.

 

Most of this casual attitude comes from the fact that Iron Bull was essentially part of the secret police in his former life. He doesn't hide it, but in his life as a mercenary who occasionally sends reports, he's hiding FROM it. That grim resolve and constant paranoia burned him out, and he's afraid that if he takes things too seriously again, he'll just find more disappointment. Life is too short for that kind of pain, and it's a lot easier to relax and have fun.

 

Josephine

 

Spoiler

The Ambassador to the Inquisition, Josephine Montilyet is a potential love interest in her late 20s. Prim, orderly, and educated, her manner is proper and professional. Josephine strongly wants to convey a sense of dignity befitting her position as an Antivan noblewoman and a diplomat.

 

An old acquaintance of the Divine's Left Hand, Josephine was asked by Leliana to become the Inquisition's Ambassador, a trusted diplomat who forges alliances and bridges hostilities with tact, favors, and connections. Josephine is a planner who understands something as audacious as resurrecting the Inquisition requires substantial support from Thedas' rich and powerful. Fortunately she enjoys a challenge, and believes the Inquisition is in the best way to halt the chaos stemming from the death of the Divine. The pragmatic Josephine wants stability to return in the quickest fashion possible.

 

Josephine is the eldest child of an old house of nobility that was driven to exile in Antiva. She feels responsible for the fortunes of her family, since she's first in line to become the head of her household. Josephine ambitiously dreams of bringing the name Montilyet the clout she feels its ancient lineage deserves. There's a spark of an idealist in Josephine ' rules and orders should be used to make people's lives better ' but she doesn't know it's there yet.

 

Leliana

 

Spoiler

Leliana was once the companion of the Hero of Ferelden. After the Blight, she became the Left Hand of the Divine, and was tasked with handling the spies who worked for Divine Justinia V. She is now the Inquisition's spymaster. He methods are efficient, but often ruthless.

 

Sera

 

Spoiler

Sera is young, raw, frenetic. An activist passionate about causes, but also a selfish criminal. Robs from the rich, keeps it. She's young and hasn't thought her beliefs through yet. She is impulsive, and it's often not about what's right, it's about what's right now. Has next to no self awareness.

 

Solas

 

Spoiler

Solas is an elf who has lived most of his life as a solitary apostate. He is an expert on the Fade, the world of spirits and dreams. He is polite, reserved, calm, and difficult to antagonize. Years of study and seclusion have made him incredibly intelligent, but also skeptical of the value of most poltiical goals and ideals. As such, he tends to pragmatism rather than idealism. He responds well to people who are intelligent and clever, and thinks less of people who are thuggish and crude.

 

Note that some of his lines are marked "ancient times", which is when Solas is remembering something profound he experienced in the Fade. These lines are written with a specific cadence. They should NOT be sung or forced into a sing-song voice pattern, but knowing that there is a bit of rhythm there might help the actor.

 

Varric

 

Spoiler

He is conscripted.

 

DA2's easy-going rogue merchant is out of his element now.

 

Cassandra, who has heard rumors of the red lyrium being found elsewhere, "strongly suggests" that Varric put his talents to work for the Inquisition.

 

... or she can go find Hawke, if he'd prefer.

 

Initially, Varric is just trying to protect his friends from the Inquisition.

 

Once he realizes how much of the current crisis is his fault, he does a full Tony Stark: He wants to protect the people he's put in harm's way.

 

Vivienne

 

Spoiler

She is refinement. A commoner, born in the Free Marches, who has risen through the Orlesian Imperial Court, mistress of a powerful noble on the Council of Heralds, official Enchanter of the Imperial Court -- a position now threatened by Morrigan -- and leader of the last remnant of the Circle. She is connected. She knows anyone, can befriend anyone, and if she can't-- well, she can manipulate them instead. She is ruthless and will do anything to accomplish her goals.

 

Vivenne is somewhere between Mrs. Coulter and the Wicked Queen from Snow White. Elegant and charming with a heart of solid ice and an obsessive need for order. She is never direct. She will not antagonize an Inquisitor for disagreeing with her. She will try to charm her adversaries first, and if that fails, resort to guile and manipulation. When she does criticize, it is through catty, biting comments. Her temper, though rarely seen, is utterly terrifying.
